The Midwest Invasive Species Network shares that Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum xsuperbum) is a hybrid cross between Portuguese daisy (Leucanthemum lacustre) and Max chrysanthemum (Leucanthemum maximum) that was created in 1890 by the famed American horticulturist Luther Burbank. While not officially an invasive plant, it is considered invasive in Michigan due to its ability to aggressively spread & outcompete native species.
Joel Dinda is one of Michigan in Pictures’s most enduring supporters. I shared the first photo from him way back in June of 2006, and he’s an active member of the Michigan in Pictures group on Facebook with a penchant for flower photography. See more in his The Showcase gallery on Flickr!

I like Joel’s Summertime flowers (and berries – yum)! I like Shasta Daisies and had no idea they were considered invasive! I happen to like Purple Loosestrife too and it is considered highly invasive. I once planted Forget-me-Not flower seed in my backyard. It was the first time using seeds instead of a plant and I scattered A FEW, emphasis on “a few”, in between established perennials for some early Spring color. Soon, they were overtaking everything, growing everywhere I didn’t want them to grow – worse than weeds and it took me years to get rid of them!
